Rusty Manifold Bolts

[kidd131]

I want to switch the horizontal exhaust on my JD 1010 to a vertical stack but the bolts look terribly rusty. Should I attempt removing them or just live with the horizontal exhaust?

I just removed the bolts on my Model M,rusted to the point of no head on two of them,if you can cut them off and remove the manifold,(I used a cutoff
wheel)they usually screw right out,at least you can get at them easy instead of laying on your back under a car or truck,I say go for it!

if heads are rusty just drive a metric or undersize socket and stud and they should back out....the impact will loose the rust and you should be good to go....
